Thor from Runoffgroove?

[scott1568]

I am currently using a modified (lower gain) BSIAB.

I need something more craggly, not ncessarily high gain. Looking for David Grissom or Black Crowes type tone - PLEXI.

Has anyone built or tried the Thor?

I built one a few months ago. It reminded me of the BSIAB quite a bit.

If you like your BSIAB, you'll probably dig on the the Thor. Its like the BSIAB but a bit....fuzzier? Not exactly overdrive, not exactly distortion, and not quite fuzz. My build had qualities of each, in their own respective ways.

I built it with run-o-the-mill J201s, with about Vdd/2 on the drains. Fun little circuit.

To me, to decribe the BSIAB, I would say sand-like distortion.

I am lookinig for gravel - courseness I guess
